Just finishing up on a major upgrade project for a client.  As I begin my holidays on Friday, the final touches and decomissioning of the now unecessary servers will wait until I get back.  In short, all servers have been upgraded to 652, over 1.3TB of databases upgraded  and every useful ND6 feature has been implemented.  All data is now clustered, with the consolidation of numerous servers.  All of it went well, and with few hickups.  The staff on the site were forward thinking with a great work ethic.  All that is left is the citrix client upgrade from 6.02 to 6.52 which happens in two weeks.  After that, the Sametime server that is asleep in the corner is in for a shock!  In short, it was one of those rare projects that I enjoyed from start to finish (anyone that knows me will know I am grumpy at the best of times, so I don't make statements like that often!).

A question to the floor, though.  My Sametime server is configured to use LDAP, as this is the way it should be done.  The downside to this is that the IM awareness in the client and hierarchial logon in 6.5 doesn't work without schema modification.  I could use the Domino directory authentication and all will be well "out of the box" but we have to consider ldap in the future workplace.  Has anybody rolled out already with the LDAP configuration, and if so, what method did they use to enable the awareness functionality.
